How can I see all the revisions where a given line of a file has been modified?

I am working with AnkhSVN in Visual Studio 2008 , and I am trying to figure out a way to see all the revisions where a specific line of a given file has been modified (created/changed), so that I can trace when a given bug has been introduced.

I am pretty sure this is possible with some scripting magic with SVN in command-line (see this question), but is there a way to do that with AnkhSVN or TortoiseSVN in a Windows environment ?

Do you mean blame, or actually viewing all of the commits for each line? (As if you were to do a blame, then recursively go to the revision just before that one and do another blame from there, and keep going until the line disappears?) I don't know how to do the latter. – mgiuca

I believe the closest you can get using those tools is by using the Blame command.

Unfortunately, blame will show you the last revision a specific line has been modified only.
